Rated 1 out of 5 by sshy did not dissolve
" I like Swanson products and I like biotin, but this particular version of it did NOT dissolve in my GI tract. Out of curiosity I put one tablet in water for two days and one tablet in vinegar for two days--neither dissolved. "

Rated 5 out of 5 by Unbiased Biotin improves Skin and hair.
After purchasing a "Drug Store' and a 'Food chain Brand' brand of Biotin, and getting no results, I decided to give 'Swanson's Ultra Time Released Biotin a try. Success! Not only am I very happy with the results, but also amazed that Swanson's Biotin was one third the cost. Thank you Swanson.

This is an amazing product for your hair skin and nails. I recommend this to all of my clients because I am a hair stylist and I know from experience the benefits of taking this regularly.
Even if you take it twice a day I have seen it work most effectively then. If you take it too late it might give you energy or could have trouble sleeping but I take mine at breakfast and lunch with food.

This specific biotin is time release in a tablet form which allows a little bit to be delivered throughout the day. It has no taste and is small enough to swallow with no problem for those who are afraid of the horse pills...

Rated 3 out of 5 by Missbalva time will tell
I got these 6 months ago and I've seen a growth in my nails. My hair is the reason I got these because it grows super slow, maybe like 2 inches a year. Ive been using them for half a year and my hair has grown a tiny bit, not much but something is something. I may have to double the daily intake to see big results.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Beanzy1 Really Works!
I had heard that biotin promotes hair growth so I gave the Swanson brand a try. I was surprised to say the least. I've been trying for what seems to be forever to grow a beard but it would only get so long and then just stop. After taking 20mg a day for 4 months along with applying castor oil I have added about 1 1/2 in. to the length of my beard and it just keeps growing. I tried another brand of biotin but it did nothing. The only drawback is I have to cut my finger nails about every 4 days as the Swanson brand makes them grow fast also. I won't switch brands again!

I have always had weak nails, but when they suddenly started splitting badly, biotin was recommended to me. This product is the most effective I have tried.

Rated 5 out of 5 by StephLova Good Product
This pill has a bland taste which is good for taking it orally. It also was at a great price.
I have only been taking it for 2 weeks so I'm not too sure it effective. My nails do seem firmer.

Rated 1 out of 5 by FillerAlert Thank you sooo much
Thank you for providing maltodextrin along with my biotin purchase, thereby providing extra value and keeping me from having to spoon extra sugar onto my morning bowl of vitamins myself at additional expense

Rated 3 out of 5 by see900 Timed-Release Biotin
This is my first time taking this product from swanson and I gave it a 3 leaves for now. I have been taking 10mg biotin for a long time now by another company and biotin is good for healthy hair and nails. This is the first time I am taking it from Swanson and as a time release supplement so I am expecting this supplement to be better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by EdenKsgram I LOVE THIS!
Some of my hair was only growing about an inch and a half long and stopping, since taking this it has started growing again, YAY! I take two a day, what a lifesaver. My nails are also growing and are very strong, no longer break easily. I'm not sure what it's supposed to do for skin, but who cares, I think it's great.

I have been taking Biotin for some time now and have found my nails not only grow faster but stronger. I have noticed some improvement in my hair as well. Definitely a regular supplement in my routine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by OutdoorGirl Love this product
My hair naturally grows slowly. Since starting this product back in October, my hair has really started to grow! I am so excited as I am in a 5-year plan to just let my hair grow as long as it can. I am 55 years old and it was now or never. So, yes, I believe this product is helping me to attain my goal. I love it!
